A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers mentioned on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in an announcement, adding that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the final safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be revered.”
